* '''New section on the Main page:''' On 2014 November 25,we added a new section [[Main_Page#Latest_articles|Latest articles]] on the [[Main page]]. The section links to a list of the 10 most recent pages. This number may be adjusted manually, and various other filters are offered.
* '''Major upgrade:''' This month we carried out a major software upgrade on Sarkarverse. The underlying PHP and MediaWiki software were both bumped up two major versions. In consequence, Sarkarverse now offers a more friendly interface for new editors. First there is the ability to quickly change the language with which you view the site and even the keyboard you use to input text. Second, and more interesting, Sarkarverse now provides the new VisualEditor, which allows editing on more of a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) basis.
* '''Return of founding member:''' In our [[Sarkarverse:Sarkarverse_Bulletin/Previous_issues#2014_October_20|last issue]] we informed you that [[User:Tito Dutta]] retired from the project. We are happy to announce that he is back.
* '''Almost 300 Prabhat Samgiita:''' We now have almost 300 Prabhat Samgiita songs posted to Sarkarverse. Each of the song articles provides a fresh translation (where applicable), an easily accessed audio link, and detailed information not easily found elsewhere.
* '''Three new portals:''' In November, we have started three new portals: a) [[Portal:Ananda Vacanamrtam]], b) [[Portal:Krsna]] and c) [[Portal:Shiva]]. You may suggest new portals or share your ideas [[Sarkarverse talk:Portals|here]].
* '''Featured articles:''' If you are looking for reference material on [http://sarkarverse.org/wiki/Ananda_Marga Ananda Marga] or [http://sarkarverse.org/wiki/Ananda_Marga_Pracaraka_Samgha Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha], check out those two featured articles on Sarkarverse.
* '''An interesting MediaWiki bug:''' We noticed an interesting MediaWiki bug. Zooming in on any page (except the log-in page) to a magnification of 150% or more was transforming the Sarkarverse logo into the Wikipedia logo. The error was fixed by removing some Wikimedia-based code from our MediaWiki.css page.
* '''Musical notations for some Prabhat Samgiita songs:''' For some Prabhat Samgiita songs, we have been able to add musical notations contributed to Sarkarverse by Bhaeravaji. We also added a musical notation for a PROUT song that was earlier contributed to PROUT Films by Jyoshnaji.  
* '''Charitable status of AmRevolution, Inc:''' Sarkarverse is a project of [http://amrevolution.org AmRevolution, Inc.], a registered charity in the USA. On December 1, after more than two and a half years effort, we have finally received approval from the United States Internal Revenue Service of our {{H:title|Scan of 501(c)(3) approval letter|[http://sarkarverse.org/Authorization/501%28c%29%283%29_Letter.png 501(c)(3) status.]|link=no|dotted=no}}

  • Major upgrade: This month we carried out a major software upgrade on Sarkarverse. The underlying PHP and MediaWiki software were both bumped up two major versions. In consequence, Sarkarverse now offers a more friendly interface for new editors. First there is the ability to quickly change the language with which you view the site and even the keyboard you use to input text. Second, and more interesting, Sarkarverse now provides the new VisualEditor, which allows editing on more of a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) basis.
  • Almost 300 Prabhat Samgiita: We now have almost 300 Prabhat Samgiita songs posted to Sarkarverse. Each of the song articles provides a fresh translation (where applicable), an easily accessed audio link, and detailed information not easily found elsewhere.
  • Featured articles: If you are looking for reference material on Ananda Marga or Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, check out those two featured articles on Sarkarverse.
